The psychiatric case register for the north-east of Scotland has been used to calculate the rates for first contact with a diagnosis of alcoholism by fishermen and non-fishermen in the years 1966-70. In each of these years the fishermen had higher rates than non-fishermen as a whole and also higher rates than the non-fishermen from social class IV, which is the social class to which most fishermen belong. The smaller differences between the rates of fishermen and non-fishermen in 1969 and 1970 relative to 1966, 1967, and 1968 may reflect a preferential "shedding" of older alcoholic fishermen at a time when there was a greater than usual contraction in the size of the work force. Differences between the rates for fishermen and non-fishermen were also evident in the age groups 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, and 50-59, being most pronounced in the 20-29 group. The findings are consistent with fishing being an occupation with a high risk for alcoholism.
苏格兰东北部的精神病病例登记册被用于计算1966年至1970年间渔民和非渔民首次被诊断为酗酒的比率。在这些年份中的每一年，渔民的比率总体上高于非渔民，并且也高于来自社会阶层IV的非渔民，而大多数渔民属于社会阶层IV。相对于1966年、1967年和1968年，1969年和1970年渔民与非渔民比率之间的差异较小，这可能反映出在劳动力规模比平常收缩更大的时期，年长的酗酒渔民被优先“淘汰”。在20 - 29岁、30 - 39岁、40 - 49岁和50 - 59岁年龄组中，渔民和非渔民的比率差异也很明显，在20 - 29岁年龄组中最为显著。这些发现与捕鱼是一种酗酒风险很高的职业这一观点一致。
